The cake the kids requested for Dad was, of course, a football. It is football season at our home. We are keeping a close watch on all the college football action. The Carolina Panthers suck this year so we don't worry about the pros.
Due to the sheer number of candles, 51, we decided 4 would be sufficient.
Halloween soon followed Dad's birthday. We had a ninja and Cinderella. They both got loads and loads of candy. It was quite a temptation for Mom and Dad. We tried not to snitch too many!!
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we decided to go camping. It is too HOT to camp in the summer. The Fall is the perfect time. Of course, it was extra cold that night but oh well. The kids had a ball.
The next day we decided to hike up to Hanging Rock. You climb about 800-1000 feet in elevation in 1 mile. We are full of energy and ready to hit the trail.
Mom was so busy focusing on breathing and keeping up with Jason and Trent, that there are no pictures of the trail up. Here is a view at the top. It was cool and quite foggy out.
Standing on Hanging Rock, which is named that because it drops off right behind us!
I wanted a picture to actually prove that I hiked and made it to the top!
Another view from the top! It really was pretty.
We made it down in one piece. We were ready for a long rest which we got on the ride home.
Thanksgiving Dinner! We are so thankful for all the blessings Heavenly Father has given us.
Decorating the Christmas Tree! Dad and Mom don't need to do much more that set the tree up and the kids do the decorating. Of course, Aubrey continues to "rearrange" the ornaments everyday! We are enjoying our time together but wish we could see our family more often.
